Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey Marathon

Does a flat route still count for Monkey Training? (Read 380 times)

Knowing the HHFM has a few hills, I've been planning all my runs on pretty much the most hilly routes I can come up with here in Manchester. It's definitely not like running in PWP, but more hilly than I usually run.
It seems to me that I probably should run some runs on fairly flat courses to reduce the stress on my body and prevent injury.
I'm able to run 4 times/week and on a good week 5 times. I'm thinking once a week it wouldn't hurt to run a flat route. Anybody else thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

I run (usually) every day and have 3 flats a week...Sometimes four if I'm feeling tweaky or if my long run was in PWP. But then, my hilly runs are all in PWP, so I may need more flat runs. But I'm with Thunder--I'd say probably more than one a week.
